This is what happens when people forget that our little planet is like a big house. When you "dump" your garbage, it's just getting moved from one room to another, unless you recycle it.
My own view is that as a society we should be encouraging people "to work", rather than "have worked", copyright protections encourages people to stop working and live of their past actions. Look at some of the old rock bands going around, they make money of "Performance" (the present) rather than "recordings" (the past)
You have it backwards. People work to get paid. If you know you'll never ever get any compensation for your hard work, you'll not do "it" whatever it is. This is basic human behavior.
I grew up in a communist society where the person working diligently in a factory gets paid the exact same amount as the person who smokes and reads papers all day. Guess how much work everyone eventually strived toward?
If I know that after spending a year making some cool app that I will never receive a penny of compensation for it, I won't do it out of practicality. Even if I may be motivated by "good of humanity" arguments or just fame and recognition among my peers, I still have to bring food to the table, so to speak.
"Our analysis showed there to be damage to the lead-in section of the data," Keith Gnagey, vice president of professional services for i365, said in an e-mail statement about the recovery effort. That meant any attempt "with normal playing software would not be able to get past the beginning of the data."
That's like the directory tree being messed up but the data being intact.
I can't believe the other "two local data recovery firms" got stumped by this simple problem.
Most of which do not contribute to their bottom line, if at all. So you put in your frontpage the things that make you money, so google -> search. Yahoo -> search and other stuff.
If yahoo's frontpage were to be equivalent to ysearch.com, then they would be deliberately taking money away from their other business units which are making them money.
Which goes to highlight where the companies come from, and what the companies do. Google does search. Yahoo does a lot of other things, of which search is just one component, albeit a major one.
Let's say you decide to start a company building a great product.
Do you know what the absolute drop-dead release date is? It's the day your funding runs out (whether it be personal or VC).
You think you can ask your mortgage company, your phone company, your VC to essentially extend you an indefinite loan because your software is not ready to be sold yet?

Your blog URL and version has been sent by default for 4+ years to every ping service in the world, including Ping-O-Matic, every time you make a post. Of course you can turn that off, just like you can turn update notification off, but statistically no one does.
The only new information being sent by the update checker is PHP version and a list of plugins. If you don't like that feature, please install a plugin to disable it:
Of course don't forget the WP dev blog and planet RSS feeds, and most importantly the incoming links feed which ALSO transmits your blog URL.
I would also recommend disabling the updates in Mac OS X, Firefox, Windows, Thunderbird, Adobe Photoshop, and any other third-party applications you have. As all of those are tied to your personal IP and not your server IP they have far more implications for privacy.
> If that database > gets public and you find a security bug in one of the plugins - there > are enough - you can start a _very_ effective attack!
Such an attack would not be more effective, it would just be more efficient. Historically, however, scripts that attack against WordPress don't bother checking the version or if a plugin is there or not, they just seek out every WP blog and check the specific capability or vulnerability.
Nevertheless, we're beefing up the infrastructure and security of WordPress.org, which Barry is working on right this instant. In 2 years of running WordPress.com and Akismet, two extraordinarily high-visibility targets, there has never been a problem on a server Barry set up. The only problems we've had (once on WP.org, once on PhotoMatt) have been things I set up, and I'm not setting up these new ones.:)
I think this feature is actually going to dramatically improve the security of WordPress overall. We all saw the survey that 95% of WP blogs were vulnerable. That didn't even look a plugins. I think the survey was flawed, but you still can't deny that for most people knowing there is an update and actually updating just doesn't happen, and this is a necessary first step. If the only "trade-off" is sending an ALREADY PUBLIC blog URL to wordpress.org, then great!
I would like to remind the participants of this thread that WP.org != Automattic, so to be fair to the members of both please distinguish which you're referring to.

The incremental more money a manager makes is not enough to offset the shit they have to put up with. In the end, you really have to want to manage or you'll be miserable.
You get more money doing sales. If you count dollar earned per effort put in, then sales beats out everything else other than winning a lottery.
I never understood why nytimes would wall off their most popular opinion columns behind a pay registration service. That only guarantees good op-ed columnists like Thomas Friedman, and by extension the New York Times itself, a smaller voice in the digital age.

Or is it a new euphemism for cancer now?
You know, such as when some bigshot gets fired, the press release usually says so and so resigned to "spend more time with family."

If you go to http://search.yahoo.com/ or http://ysearch.com/ then you get the same experience as going to google (classic).
You're full of shit.
Ok, here's a more concrete example.
Let's say you decide to start a company building a great product.
Do you know what the absolute drop-dead release date is? It's the day your funding runs out (whether it be personal or VC).
You think you can ask your mortgage company, your phone company, your VC to essentially extend you an indefinite loan because your software is not ready to be sold yet?
You find me customers who's willing to shell out dollars or plan their dependencies for some nebulous release date.
Or you can try that when you have to pay your bills, "Yeah, we'll make our best effort to pay that mortgage on the 10th."
The world doesn't work that way.
Or the police would've locked down the city already.
I would be impressed if his motion sensored doors are telepathic, like they are in the Star Trek universe.
I mean, who is going to answer yes?
Putting your most influential op-ed writers behind a pay wall is a sure way to make their voices irrelevant in the Internet age.

If you RTFA, you can see that they've filed a US patent on it recently.
Lots of estrogen leads to bigger breasts, which may lead one to see many happier faces.
